Gulf of Maine Oceanographic Measurements 2004-2007

Oceanographic measurements collected in the Gulf of Maine from 2004 to 2007. The dataset includes parameters related to ocean optics, chemistry, and temperature. It is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing seasonal and interannual variability in ocean temperature and salinity.
• Studying the relationship between ocean optics and biological or chemical processes.
• Modeling light penetration and its effects on primary productivity in coastal waters.
• Investigating water mass properties and circulation patterns in the Gulf of Maine.

Strengths

• Provides a multi-year time series covering a specific coastal region from 2004 to 2007.
• Includes measurements across multiple oceanographic domains: optics, chemistry, and temperature.
• Sourced from a authoritative organization (NASA).

Limitations

• Key technical details are unavailable: row count, file size, and specific column names are not provided.
• The license is ambiguously listed as 'other-license-specified' without clear terms.
• Data formats (BIN, ISO) may require specialized tools for access and processing.
